It used to be like that. Give money to the middle and lower class and have the wealth trickle up to the wealthy. But now the very wealthy can bypass that portion by just having some friends in politics. With that connection you can get tax cuts, infinite “get out of jail free” cards, subsidies for your businesses, etc.

The money still comes from the middle and lower class but now it’s just through giving our tax money directly to them. No need to build pesky businesses and have to deal with that headache. How gauche !
